Pet Sitting in Poultney

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since a young age having grown up on a farm including dogs, cats, goats, horses, cows, chickens and pigs. I am responsible and reliable. I am an animal lover who enjoys going on outdoor adventures especially hiking with our furry friends. I have a flexible schedule and I am happy to accommodate my client's and their pet's needs. I can animal sit in client's home or mine, perform drop in visits and/or walks. I have a large back yard and live close to dog parks and hiking trails. I enjoy being active with my own dog and those that I am watching including hiking, swimming, and walking. I have a big car to transport animals to and from any destination, as well.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child from dogs and cats to horses and working on farms. I now have three dogs that I have raised and trained since puppies. They are now 5,7, and 12. I have an overwhelming love for all animals. I’m currently working at the Wheel Inn in Benson, VT. I work nights and weekends so I have extra free time during daytime hours in the week. My pets at home run free, but I do have a small area fenced in if need. When caring for others pets I will follow any guidelines they have for their pets.

“We wrote to Mark about our pup Leo and he was immediately open to come meet us first to make sure it was a good fit and was a great communicator, answering all of our questions and us answering his! He even came a bit early when our pup was stressed being alone. I highly recommend him!”

“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She let my puppy out for bathroom breaks and playtime for an hour while I was working long days. I always received picture and video updates of what Luna was up to and she even helped work on commands.”

“I’ve known Tim since he was 5 years old & he has always had a deep love & connection to dogs. He takes care of my dogs and always makes sure they are safe, healthy & loved! Tim’s calling has always been animals, he is the animal whisperer.”

“Emily was the closest Rover sitter to me in a remote location, put she was still about 20 minutes away. She stopped by AFTER a full days work, which was at least another 20 minutes in the opposite direction from me. Despite these logistics, Emily showed up consistently early evening immediately after her work day. She performed all the duties necessary during each visit, plus she performed some special handling for a package that arrived while I was away. I would not hesitate using her again, and would recommend her.”

“Hannah is the best when it comes to taking care of my favorite thing in the world. She follows all guidelines and as a pet parent, we have some outlandish requests such as not too many treats, and a walk that's at least 30 minutes. Hannah was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure things went smoothly. The cold never bothered her and she would take the time to meet your pet before the first outing. She understands the body languages of animals, and my dog suffered from separation anxiety as well as not loving other dogs. Hannah would continue the training I was using and made sure to provide a quality experience for all. I would trust Hannah with my dog's life and know that she is in the best hands.”

“When it comes to dogs, i couldn't think of a better lady for this occupation! I'm lucky enough to have met Cristina because of our dogs! I helped her to learn dock diving with her boy Hozzy! Hozzy is the most amazing Malinous i've ever met! Sweet, Gentleman and just like my labs! He also obsessed with dock diving! A Champ! Cristina can handle any dog from what i've seen! A 200 lber wouldn't be a problem! She is fun, serious, and full of gusto! She would be a huge asset to anyone needing dog help! She has done many training sessions!! I highlight reccomend Cristina!”

About: I’ve had over 5 dogs growing up in Florida. Before I moved I helped take care of my sisters 3 fur babies. I’m new to Vermont, new to the professional side of pet care but I’m quick to learn. My full time job as a paramedic means I’m gone for long stretches but when I do have time off I have multiple days in between shifts that I can care for your pet with. I have a very large floor plan in my apartment where your dog/cat can explore and play while maintaining safety. I also have a very large yard for our door activities. I have trained dogs in the past and I am very quick to learn your routine so no training lessons or sessions has been missed.

“Rachel took the best care of my 16.5 year old cat, Zoe. My cat now needs daily medication and it was the first time I left town since she started the meds and Rachel made me feel so comfortable knowing that Zoe was in great hands! And to my delighted surprise, Rachel even hung out with Zoe and let her go out to sunbathe in her favorite sunny spot ouside. Zoe appreciated that so much! I 100000000% recommend!!”

“Nikki quickly got back to us, she was sensitive and careful with our cat who is dealing with a difficult illness. We really appreciated her support and would highly recommend her.”

“She’s the best! Whit and Larry love her.”

“Maggie is fantastic! It’s so obvious that she loves animals and what else can you ask for from a pet sitter? She is a very smart and caring young woman and caters to our pets needs. We could not be happier with Maggie and we plan to hire her for all of our future pet sitting needs. Thanks Maggie!”

“Emily is always great with my 2 pups! She does a great job and is quick to respond to messages ! Great updates !”

“Michelle was great for a drop in with my pup. Good communication, reliable and sent lots of pics. Would definitely recommend!”

About: i have taken care of friends of familys dogs for many years! i will walk, feed, bathe or whatever you need for your furry friends! I am a delivery driver who works 4 days a week and the hours vary, so my availability may be limited. I do try to be flexible with everyone’s schedules! More love in a house is better for everyone! I have two dogs who loves other animals, i can crate if needed as well. i also have plenty of toys! I do not discipline other dogs unless otherwise noted.

“Hannah house/pet sat for us 5 days last year and took wonderful care of our son's dog, our cat, our daughter's RES turtle and our 7 chickens! She is very knowledgeable, responsible and we trust her 100% to care for our family pets just like they were her own. Highly recommended, 5 Stars!”

“Jennifer watched my 2 unruly, reactive huskies for two weeks. One is 11, the other is 2, and they do not get along. I was really worried about whether a sitter would know how to manage them. At our first meeting, it was clear that she knew what she was doing--she was firm and clear about boundaries and they settled right down while we chatted. While I was away and had no phone or internet access, my younger boy found a porcupine. (I'd never seen one in my area so never even considered it a possibility--of course he found it while I was away.) Jennifer kept a cool head, contacted my vet and support people, and got both dogs the care they needed. (Seriously, if I had been there I would have panicked...the pictures were so bad.) She then skillfully managed these two traumatized and drugged up huskies until I got back. On an unrelated note, it can be weird to have someone stay in your home and you never quite know what you might come back to, but Jennifer left it actually *better* than she found it. She even tidied up my disaster of a deck! I highly, highly recommend Jennifer. This was probably one of the worst case scenarios for any pet sitter and she was literally a life saver.”

“Thank you for coming to take care of them with such short notice! We are up here at least one e a month and will be rebooking g and referring to our friends.”

About: I have a husky two cats and a bunch of reptiles. The cats can be seperated from any anti kitty pups. I love pets and I love babysitting. I have experience with all age dogs and cats. As well as experience with almost any reptile you can think of :) I work Monday through Friday from home 2pm-8pm so I’m always home to supervise the pups. I can walk whenever needed as my schedule is very flexible and my partner works the same job so she also can step in if needed. We have an unfenced yard that I walk the pups in, dogs always have a leash on before the door opens so no one can sneak out. I do separate bowls in separate rooms for feeding time and have my dog used to being around different dogs so there’s no issues there. I tend to be the kind of sitter that enjoys spending time with your dog rather than just allowing the pup to spend time in my home. Lots of pets kisses and treats are what our house is about:) I will make your pup feel at home.
